  Fola La Follette was the daughter of Wisconsin Governor and U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette Sr., and was a Broadway actress as well as a political activist. Paragraph 8 on this web page mentions La Follette's support of a garment workers strike in 1913. Rose Livingston was an ex-prostitute turned social reformer, known during the era as "The Angel of Chinatown" for her work with the prostitutes in the area. She has some things to say about her work in this 1912 New York Times article (the second of two articles in that PDF.)

  125 East 11th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues, near Astor Place, in Manhattan, New York City. It's currently a nightclub.

  Interesting that the entry stairs are now removed from the building on the left. The Hall's Wikipedia entry notes that "In 1916, it was used as the strike headquarters for the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union."

Coming from the N. Snellenburg & Company Manufactory, South Jersey Colonies

  If you have any information regarding the individuals within the picture, please leave a comment.

  I don't think the name of the company is "Tailor Made Clothing Factory" but rather the N. Snellenburg & Company factory in Philadelphia. Conceivably, these workers could have taken the ferry from Camden, New Jersey, to Philly each day to work.
